Metalynx and Lathan both can take a acrobatic hit, then retialiate with either a STAB or some status (Like Toxic or Paralysis!). M-Syrentide can out tank it as well, as can Beliaddon and Dunsereph. The later two can even status it and STAB it to death, so beware. Also, while there are not a lot of truly defensive Pokémon, there are a heck of a lot of Tormenters, Status users, and Stealth Rock users. All this thing will end Harptera's life prematurely, leaving whatever team that runs it into a 5 V 6....
Just because a defensive Pokemon has status doesn't mean they always go for it. Metalynx, Lanthan, and Syrentide all do a lot to Harptera so there's no point in them using any status. Why would you Toxic something when you can OHKO it? I acknowledge that Facade will be useful in very specific circumstances but the utility of Pursuit or Tailwind are far superior.
